HOW DOES A FACILITATED DISCUSSION WITH THE ACTORS REMAINING IN CHARACTER WORK?
Following the performance of an one-act or full-length play, the actors remain in character and answer questions from the audience. The Sanity Patrol Players have found that audience members are likely to confront a character in ways they wouldn’t with anyone else. In questioning a characters reason for behaving the way they do, audience members ask questions they may feel uncomfortable asking under any other circumstances. Actors are trained to maximize the effectiveness of this exercise, according to the needs of the organization.
